Enterprise surveys

I am working on a survey through Enterprise survey to be sent to all students. I chose to send the survey to the students enrolled in the classes for this semester. I only want the student to get the email once and take the survey once. But, if the student is enrolled in 4 classes, they are getting the email for each class and once taken, they continue to get reminders because they didn't do the survey in the other three classes. Any suggestions? I only want active students this semester, not all students within the BB system.

If you send the Enterprise Survey to their email, they will only get the one attempt. If you send it to all via the courses, they will get the survey in each course. So you can choose to upload the email addresses and send the survey out using that method. Your SIS people could perhaps provide you with a list of the current student email addresses and then you just need to create a text file with each address on a single line. Or if you have the emails in included in the student Blackboard user accounts, you can query the DB to get those addresses.

We use communities for these kind of surveys. We created a student community and I enrolled all current students into that community. Then we created the survey in the community and released it there. Then I created a custom module that is viewable only by students when they are logged onto Blackboard that has a link to the survey. Using this method, the survey prompt shows on the Blackboard landing page in the custom module, and if you utilize the My Messages and /or the My Announcements modules you can send a message and create an announcement and it shows in those modules as well.

Feel free to contact me and I'll be happy to share what we have done. We used this method for student government elections, voting for a mascot, etc.

Yes one of the delivery options is to upload email addresses using a text file. The email addresses need to be on separate lines in the file. As long as you have an easy way to pull the email addresses you can certainly use this method.
